I caught the tail end of a local DC-area radio program last week (Thursday) and I'm pretty sure I heard one of the representatives from the Nation's Gun Show say that they would no longer allow the sale of "assault weapons" at their show in Chantilly, VA. Can anyone verify this? If this is true, I have attended my last Nation's Gun Show.

I know of a pre Clinton ban AR Colt in cosmolene that the owner is not a gun person and will eventually sell. Wonder what I can get it for. Or if I will eventually have to declare it here in ‘on the cusp’ of draconian laws NYS. Right now only post ban mags are illegal

Don’t see anything about it restrictions on AR’s. There’s a gun show in Roanoke, VA this weekend, and according to a friend, AR’s aren’t selling quite as fast as they were 2 or 3 weeks ago at Salem. The reason? Prices are waaaaaaaaaaay up. I may run by this afternoon to look around.

A bit of trivia:
The president of C&E Gun Shows is married to the president of Showmasters Gun Shows.

I went to the NW ARK one yesterday. People were bringing in more “assault” rifles than anything else. I didn’t see a whole lot of money change hands though. I took a Norinco AK and got people interested but no offers/buyers.

Now that there is a good one. Maybe they’re not redneck enough to fall under the “clinger” banner. You want stone age, we’ll give ya stone age. Well, probably not so much any more since we’re kinder and gentler now. Maybe we should just use airsoft ar’s.

I did a cursory look around yesterday for ammo and ouch! It’s pretty hard to find a lot of calibers right now. Maybe DHS will share some of theirs. Maybe no.

Let see, you heard it from the press? What press? It is Virginia. It is legal to sell semi-auto guns in VA at gun shows. What do you believe? I live 2 miles from the gun show. This is the biggest crap I have heard all day.
